Excerpt of article:

Greetings! Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Cupid, that little flying baby you see all over the place every February. Yes, that guy. I know, you get sick of seeing me. If you’re not dating anyone, seeing my face makes you cringe. If you are, my image pressures you to buy that perfect lovey-dovey card/ flower bouquet/box of candy. But really, that’s just my marketing team. That’s not how I want to be known.

In fact, that’s why I’m writing. I’m afraid I’ve gotten a bad rap. I’m even sick of me and I am me. But here’s the thing: The real Cupid J. Valentine isn’t just some half-naked flying tot trying to make people all lovey-dovey. I’m just a normal guy (well, besides the flying thing) who thinks love is pretty cool. However, the messages I’m trying to put out there have been all twisted. So, I’m gonna set the record straight about myself and this whole love thing in general.

1. I’m not a baby. I just look young. And I’m a little vertically challenged.

2. I wear pants. How would you like it if everyone thought you only wore diapers? Pretty annoying, huh? It’s as if I have trouble with my digestive system or something. I don’t. I’m not even sure how this whole diaper-only thing started. After all, Valentine’s Day is in February! If I just wore a diaper all the time, I’d get frostbite. Read the rest of this article.
